Hi Siling,
Yes, you did good research,
Extracted from the internet and translated in Google:
(Capsicum pubescens)
(Burning: above 70,000 Scoville)
Capsicum pubescens is a pepper with fruits of medium size, common in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador. As the region is locally known as rocoto (in Quechua) or locoto (in Aymara).
The term derives from the word rocoto Hispanic Andean rocin, meaning draft horse. And indeed, the fruits of pepper resemble the drawing of a horse's head. It has another name by which it is known: pepper-horse. In Mexico, it is also known as chili-pepper-like pear and apple. Its fruit, rounded, resembling a cherry when they are small, and an apple, to become great. Once mature, take the yellow, red or orange. The bush that gives rise to it grows by more than ten years and becomes so broad that in some places, is called tree pepper. The rocoto is the only one pepper whose seeds are black.
Here in Brazil where I'm planting rocoto, the temperature in winter is between 10-28 degrees Celsius and between 25-45 degrees Celsius in summer.
As you can see, I have no problem with the weather
take care
